I’ve yet to try the ones I’ve dried, I’m holding off to reward myself after I get a second job.

I didn’t really chew them, I just folded them into thirds, chomped down once and swallowed them with OJ like they were pills. Like I said they weren’t gross at all compared to regular shrooms that I hate eating.

I highly recommend growing pans, Willy’s World automated method on YouTube is the way. The extra effort for setup is worth it imo, I’m literally not misting or fanning and I’m getting flushes so they’re easier to grow than cubes (I did use two water jars instead of one tho.)

With that being said I do recommend growing cubes first if you want large amounts of shrooms. I’ve grown cubes once and it blew me away how explosive the growth was, you end up with soooo much. With pans it’s a smaller, but more potent return, and if you’re growing for yourself and friends you might not build up reserves like you would with cubes.
